IOWA CITY –Sen. Barack Obama charged today that a private security firm operating in Iraq has acted "with reckless disregard to Iraqi
life," as he called his proposals to better monitor such contractors the toughest reforms offered by any candidate in the presidential
race.

You know, forget all the lives these guys have saved all over the world! From Congo to Afghanistan, these guys have been there to defend the weak. Of
course, Obama probably knows nothing about any of their history and simply jumped on the left wing bandwagon.

Sen. Barack Obama has not been a fan of private police like Blackwater in war zones, and some news outlets even reported that they were spurned
for his trip last week to Afghanistan and Iraq. But Whispers confirms that Blackwater did handle the Democratic presidential candidate's security
in Afghanistan and helped out in Iraq. What's more, Obama was overheard saying: "Blackwater is getting a bad rap." Since everything appeared to
go swimmingly, maybe he will take firms like Blackwater out of his sights, the company's supporters hope.

Where are your snyde comments and spin doctoring suppositions now? How many flip-flops does your candidate have to do before even you get sick of his
theatrics?

Here, I'll open even take the gloves off for you.

Want to count the big flip-flops so far?

* Taking money from oil companies for his campaign when he said he never would
* Waffling on his support for unilaterally renegotiating NAFTA
* His infamous overnight change in position on the danger of Iran
* Changing his stance on the troops in Iraq and possibly redeploying them to Afghanistan instead of bringing them home like he first said he would
* Reversing his vote on FISA
* Flip-flopping on partial-birth abortions (hotair.com...)
* Despite pledging to accept public financing, he reversed his position and opted out of the system, calling it "a broken system"
* Now waffling on Blackwater

Quite a list the man of change has so far. I'll this for him - he certainly does stand for change, but the change he stands for is changing his
original campaign promises to suit his current interests.

But Obama isn't just any globetrotting senator. He's a presidential nominee, which means all his security arrangements at home and abroad are made
not by the State Department but by the Secret Service. The Obama campaign refused to discuss his security detail, but a spokesman for the Secret
Service told me that private contractors were not accompanying Obama in Iraq or Afghanistan. "Text," said spokesman Ed Donovan. "We use
military law enforcement and Secret Service."

The "Obamatrons" will "explain this away" because the "source" "overheard".....allegedly.....

Oh crap, whats the point....

I will let you guys get back to your circle-jerk. I am misunderinterested.

What? If there's a good explanation I'm all ears. Blackwater was criticized, most noteably by the liberal left, for their security tactics used in
Iraq and Afghanistan. As well they should have been - some of their actions were certainly questionable.

Why then would Obama use them to secure himself on his overseas trip? It makes a statement of "Yeah, I know those guys are brutal and get away with
injustices but hey, you gotta admit, they're good at what they do."

The Secret Service is on charge of his security. Regardless of where he goes.
And if there was any Blackwater protection, it was requested by the Secret Service or US government. You are really grasping now....
